What are the green packing peanuts made of?

Sometimes, we receive some really good, surprised questions. Imagine you've ordered a box full of Shampoo Bars and other goodies, and it's just been delivered. Full of enthusiasm, you open the box only to be greeted by all kinds of plastic packing peanuts. That doesn't fit with a plastic-free company, does it? No, that's right! And that's why our green packing peanuts are 100% natural and plastic-free! What are they made of then? We'd love to tell you more about that.

Sustainable packaging material

What makes these chips so great? The answer is simple: they are made from the most natural ingredients you can imagine. Air – check! Water – check! Vegetable starch – double-check! And they even have a cheerful color. The natural green packing peanuts are quickly biodegradable and not harmful to the environment. And if that's not green enough, you don't have to throw them away with the regular waste. The chips are biodegradable and can simply go with the organic waste. Or let them dissolve in water! 💧✨

Sustainable and incredibly strong

Okay, the green packing peanuts that Shampoobars uses are made from vegetable starch, air, and water. But besides being natural, they are also incredibly strong. And unlike styrofoam packing peanuts, these are not static! So you don't have to worry if you find green packing peanuts with your order. They are not plastic, harmless, biodegradable, and ready to protect your packages in an environmentally friendly way. 🌿💚

What to do with the green packing peanuts?

You can reuse them to send a package yourself, or you can craft with them! As soon as they get a little wet, they stick together, so a quick lick or dip in water and you can create the most beautiful things with them. Hours of crafting fun guaranteed! If you're not going to use them anymore? Then you can dissolve them in water and they will disappear.

P.S. Did you know you can even eat them? 👀 They're not very tasty, but it shows how harmless these packing peanuts are.
